# 75-Year-Old Wang Shi Breaks the Internet Again: True Youthfulness Has Nothing to Do with Age!

On March 23rd, Wang Shi trended again. This time it wasn't about real estate or other topics, but rather a high-intensity athletic event that moved many young people.

His statement "challenging HYROX at 75" was like a wake-up call, jolting many people who just crossed thirty and frequently lament "getting old, not up to it anymore."

At the Beijing HYROX fitness challenge on March 22nd, known as the "gym triathlon," extreme athletic ability is required. The event format consists of 1-kilometer runs paired with functional training exercises, completing 8 rounds in cycles. Sledgehammer pushes, farmer's carries, rowing machines, burpees, ring push-ups and other challenges followed one after another—even for fitness enthusiasts in their prime, completing the full course is no small feat.

At 75 years old, Wang Shi finished with a time of 1 hour 40 minutes 27 seconds, ranking 11th in the 40+ age group. His fellow competitors were typically over thirty years younger than him, yet his rowing machine form was standard and steady, his sledgehammer pushes showed powerful, confident strides, and after eight rounds of challenges, he remained composed throughout.

What's even more admirable is that this time he dropped the artifice, met the camera with no makeup, and openly revealed his graying, thinning hair. True aging is never about facial wrinkles, but rather when the heart first surrenders to time.

By integrating self-discipline into daily life and viewing age as merely a number, Wang Shi demonstrated the best approach to anti-aging. More than external beautification, daring to maintain youthful determination and passion at 75 is the most moving expression of youthfulness.

After seeing Wang Shi's latest story, what right do we young people have to say we can't do it, that we're getting old? What excuse do we have to be lazy? While we're young, let's strive hard, study actively, and exercise actively!
